Not really a topic for this blog, but news that Pluto is apparently no longer a planet is pretty big news in my book, so I thought I’d mention it anyway. The International Astronomical Union took a vote and decided, no, Pluto, you’re not a real planet anymore: now you’re a dwarf planet.

“Pluto is a “dwarf planet” by the above definition and is recognized as the prototype of a new category of trans-Neptunian objects”
